This is what happened with a sculpture made with innovative techniques and designed in one of the European centers of excellence of woodworking: Val Gardena. In the artistic field, the applications are potentially boundless, and today, architects and fashion houses are increasingly making use of 3D printers to implement their projects, containing costs and also reducing the environmental impact of production.īut it is in the world of sculpture that the use of three-dimensional milling techniques have come to the forefront with a recent Italian Court case which shows that, while it is true that 3D printing is a great opportunity for innovation in the artistic world, the widespread circulation on the internet of files containing information suitable for reproduction through 3D printers can rise new between IP owners and third party users. 3D printing is a versatile tool that can be used to create anything from a simple pencil to an entire building, which can be scanned, transformed into an algorithm and then re-materialized by a machine that literally sculpts it in just 48 hours.
